--- Comment #10 from Justin L <[email protected]> ---
(In reply to SATYA SRINIVAS K from comment #8)
> Is there a way to disable the "Create PDF form" option when exporting to PDF
Comment 9 indicates that there is a configuration option to handle this, but it
is not something that can be specified at the command line. It is part of the
user profile.

So, it could be set via an extension for example.

The sample configuration extension does exactly that - disables creating PDF
forms (along with various other useful changes)
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Sample_LO_configuration_extension.oxt

I made a patch to turn off "create PDF form" by default since the PDFs we
create that contain content controls are actually really poor.
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/152622

However, I do not fell comfortable having my name associated with this change.
There seem to be some internal PDF structures that depend on forms being
enabled in order for some unit tests to pass. They don't really seem to be
involved in export in the normal process. However, I don't like being required
to have some parts of LO default to true and other parts default to false.

So I will abandon that patch and leave it to PDF people to pick it up if they
want it.
